Wretched teeth !

Hello

Straight to the point. My remaining (not many )teeth are falling to bits. Before Covid my new dentist and I decided that several teeth would have to come out and I would have a bridge. Now ages later my teeth are falling to bits (+) and I have ‘severe heart failure ‘ /cardiomyopathy .

Now I need to know if it’s safe to have extractions and if if it would be cost effective knowing that they will cost a bomb and they are no good to my children if I leave them in my will !

I only have a private dentist because of the lack of nhs dentists round here.

In mitigation I have Sjogrens Syndrome known to decimate teeth. And had chemo five years ago.

I am trying to keep a stiff upper lip as I realise my problems are small with what is going on in the world.

Luckily I can speak without showing my teeth !
